Calypso (Calypsobulbosa) level — $5,000 and up

A state-endangered orchid, Calypso has an interesting botanical name and a strikingly beautiful flower. It was found in cedar swamps in northern and central NY, but presently there are no extant records in NY. Funds for future surveys may help to discover it.

One of only two ferns in the continental US listed in the Endangered Species Act, Hart's tongue fern was first discovered in North America in Onondaga County NY, where the largest single population in the US occurs today.

In NY, this state-threatened species occurs only in Jefferson County. It has unmistakable feathery fruits.

Showy lady's slipper (Cypripediumreginae) level — $500 to $999

The size and flower colors of this spectacular native orchid never fails to impress.
